  If a binding is added to or removed from this context, its effect on an enumeration previously returned is undefined.

  Specified by:
    `list` in interface `javax.naming.Context`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the context to list
  Returns:
    an enumeration of the names and class names of the bindings in this context. Each element of the enumeration is of type NameClassPair.

  Enumerates the names bound in the named context, along with the objects bound to them. The contents of any subcontexts are not included.

  If a binding is added to or removed from this context, its effect on an enumeration previously returned is undefined.

  Specified by:
    `listBindings` in interface `javax.naming.Context`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the context to list
  Returns:
    an enumeration of the bindings in this context. Each element of the enumeration is of type Binding.
  Throws:
    `javax.naming.NamingException` - if a naming exception is encountered

### destroySubcontext

    public void destroySubcontext(javax.naming.Name name)
                           throws javax.naming.NamingException

  Destroys the named context and removes it from the namespace. Any attributes associated with the name are also removed. Intermediate contexts are not destroyed.

  This method is idempotent. It succeeds even if the terminal atomic name is not bound in the target context, but throws NameNotFoundException if any of the intermediate contexts do not exist. In a federated naming system, a context from one naming system may be bound to a name in another. One can subsequently look up and perform operations on the foreign context using a composite name. However, an attempt destroy the context using this composite name will fail with NotContextException, because the foreign context is not a "subcontext" of the context in which it is bound. Instead, use unbind() to remove the binding of the foreign context. Destroying the foreign context requires that the destroySubcontext() be performed on a context from the foreign context's "native" naming system.

  Specified by:
    `destroySubcontext` in interface `javax.naming.Context`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the context to be destroyed; may not be empty
  Throws:
    `javax.naming.NameNotFoundException` - if an intermediate context does not exist
    `javax.naming.NotContextException` - if the name is bound but does not name a context, or does not name a context of the appropriate type
    `javax.naming.NamingException`

### destroySubcontext

    public void destroySubcontext(java.lang.String name)
                           throws javax.naming.NamingException

  Destroys the named context and removes it from the namespace.

  Specified by:
    `destroySubcontext` in interface `javax.naming.Context`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the context to be destroyed; may not be empty
  Throws:
    `javax.naming.NameNotFoundException` - if an intermediate context does not exist
    `javax.naming.NotContextException` - if the name is bound but does not name a context, or does not name a context of the appropriate type
    `javax.naming.NamingException`

### createSubcontext

    public javax.naming.Context createSubcontext(javax.naming.Name name)
                                          throws javax.naming.NamingException

  Creates and binds a new context. Creates a new context with the given name and binds it in the target context (that named by all but terminal atomic component of the name). All intermediate contexts and the target context must already exist.

  Specified by:
    `createSubcontext` in interface `javax.naming.Context`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the context to create; may not be empty
  Returns:
    the newly created context

    the newly created context
  Throws:
    `javax.naming.NameAlreadyBoundException` - if name is already bound
    `InvalidAttributesException` - if creation of the subcontext requires specification of mandatory attributes
    `javax.naming.NamingException` - if a naming exception is encountered

### lookupLink

    public java.lang.Object lookupLink(javax.naming.Name name)
                                throws javax.naming.NamingException

  Retrieves the named object, following links except for the terminal atomic component of the name. If the object bound to name is not a link, returns the object itself.

  Specified by:
    `lookupLink` in interface `javax.naming.Context`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the object to look up
  Returns:
    the object bound to name, not following the terminal link (if any).

                                          throws javax.naming.NamingException

  Retrieves the parser associated with the named context. In a federation of namespaces, different naming systems will parse names differently. This method allows an application to get a parser for parsing names into their atomic components using the naming convention of a particular naming system. Within any single naming system, NameParser objects returned by this method must be equal (using the equals() test).

  Specified by:
    `getNameParser` in interface `javax.naming.Context`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the context from which to get the parser
  Returns:
    a name parser that can parse compound names into their atomic components
  Throws:
    `javax.naming.NamingException` - if a naming exception is encountered

### getNameParser

    public javax.naming.NameParser getNameParser(java.lang.String name)
                                          throws javax.naming.NamingException

  Retrieves the parser associated with the named context.

  Specified by:
    `getNameParser` in interface `javax.naming.Context`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the context from which to get the parser
  Returns:
    a name parser that can parse compound names into their atomic components

### composeName

    public javax.naming.Name composeName(javax.naming.Name name,
                                         javax.naming.Name prefix)
                                  throws javax.naming.NamingException

  Composes the name of this context with a name relative to this context.

  Given a name (name) relative to this context, and the name (prefix) of this context relative to one of its ancestors, this method returns the composition of the two names using the syntax appropriate for the naming system(s) involved. That is, if name names an object relative to this context, the result is the name of the same object, but relative to the ancestor context. None of the names may be null.

  Specified by:
    `composeName` in interface `javax.naming.Context`
  Parameters:
    `name` - a name relative to this context
    `prefix` - the name of this context relative to one of its ancestors
  Returns:
    the composition of prefix and name
  Throws:
    `javax.naming.NamingException` - if a naming exception is encountered

### composeName

    public java.lang.String composeName(java.lang.String name,
                                        java.lang.String prefix)
                                 throws javax.naming.NamingException

  Composes the name of this context with a name relative to this context.

  Specified by:
    `composeName` in interface `javax.naming.Context`
  Parameters:
    `name` - a name relative to this context
    `prefix` - the name of this context relative to one of its ancestors
  Returns:
    the composition of prefix and name
  Throws:
    `javax.naming.NamingException` - if a naming exception is encountered

### addToEnvironment

    public java.lang.Object addToEnvironment(java.lang.String propName,
                                             java.lang.Object propVal)
                                      throws javax.naming.NamingException

  Adds a new environment property to the environment of this context. If the property already exists, its value is overwritten.

  Specified by:
    `addToEnvironment` in interface `javax.naming.Context`
  Parameters:
    `propName` - the name of the environment property to add; may not be null
    `propVal` - the value of the property to add; may not be null
  Throws:
    `javax.naming.NamingException` - if a naming exception is encountered

### removeFromEnvironment

    public java.lang.Object removeFromEnvironment(java.lang.String propName)
                                           throws javax.naming.NamingException

  Removes an environment property from the environment of this context.

  Specified by:
    `removeFromEnvironment` in interface `javax.naming.Context`
  Parameters:
    `propName` - the name of the environment property to remove; may not be null
  Throws:
    `javax.naming.NamingException` - if a naming exception is encountered

### getEnvironment

    public java.util.Hashtable getEnvironment()
                                       throws javax.naming.NamingException

  Retrieves the environment in effect for this context. See class description for more details on environment properties. The caller should not make any changes to the object returned: their effect on the context is undefined. The environment of this context may be changed using addToEnvironment() and removeFromEnvironment().

  Specified by:
    `getEnvironment` in interface `javax.naming.Context`
  Returns:
    the environment of this context; never null
  Throws:
    `javax.naming.NamingException` - if a naming exception is encountered

### close

    public void close()
               throws javax.naming.NamingException

  Closes this context. This method releases this context's resources immediately, instead of waiting for them to be released automatically by the garbage collector. This method is idempotent: invoking it on a context that has already been closed has no effect. Invoking any other method on a closed context is not allowed, and results in undefined behaviour.

  Specified by:
    `close` in interface `javax.naming.Context`
  Throws:
    `javax.naming.NamingException` - if a naming exception is encountered

### getNameInNamespace

    public java.lang.String getNameInNamespace()
                                        throws javax.naming.NamingException

  Retrieves the full name of this context within its own namespace.

  Many naming services have a notion of a "full name" for objects in their respective namespaces. For example, an LDAP entry has a distinguished name, and a DNS record has a fully qualified name. This method allows the client application to retrieve this name. The string returned by this method is not a JNDI composite name and should not be passed directly to context methods. In naming systems for which the notion of full name does not make sense, OperationNotSupportedException is thrown.

  Specified by:
    `getNameInNamespace` in interface `javax.naming.Context`
  Returns:
    this context's name in its own namespace; never null
  Throws:
    `javax.naming.OperationNotSupportedException` - if the naming system does not have the notion of a full name
    `javax.naming.NamingException` - if a naming exception is encountered

### lookup

    protected java.lang.Object lookup(javax.naming.Name name,
                                      boolean resolveLinks)
                               throws javax.naming.NamingException

  Retrieves the named object.

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the object to look up
    `resolveLinks` - If true, the links will be resolved
  Returns:
    the object bound to name
  Throws:
    `javax.naming.NamingException` - if a naming exception is encountered

### bind

    protected void bind(javax.naming.Name name,
                        java.lang.Object obj,
                        boolean rebind)
                 throws javax.naming.NamingException

  Binds a name to an object. All intermediate contexts and the target context (that named by all but terminal atomic component of the name) must already exist.

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name to bind; may not be empty
    `rebind` - if true, then perform a rebind (ie, overwrite)
  Throws:
    `javax.naming.NameAlreadyBoundException` - if name is already bound
    `InvalidAttributesException` - if object did not supply all mandatory attributes
    `javax.naming.NamingException` - if a naming exception is encountered

### isWritable

    protected boolean isWritable()

  Returns true if writing is allowed on this context.

### checkWritable

    protected void checkWritable()
                          throws javax.naming.NamingException

  Throws a naming exception is Context is not writable.

  Throws:
    `javax.naming.NamingException`
